15 Apr 2026 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

There are unanswered questions about definitions, what should be in and what should be out, and exactly where the boundary lines are. Parents sometimes talk about social media in a way that professionals might not; parents might exclude certain messaging apps, for example. There are questions to be resolved, but the Go

15 Apr 2026 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

I think I just heard the Minister say, “We have already solved this problem.” I do not know if any other colleagues heard that. She said that she has written to every headteacher in the country, and it is absolutely the right thing to be in contact with them. Has she heard back from any headteachers or headteacher repr

Will the Minister give way?

This is about the change overall. Maybe it is a misty-eyed look back at a world that is long gone and we cannot do anything to bring it back, but I think it is not a bad thing to ask whether we think the change, even if it is irreversible, is a good thing or a bad thing—and not just in news but in general. There is a m

Other people estimate it. You have no estimates?

I realise that you are a TV guy and not a doctor, but in your professional judgment, you spend a lot of time thinking about children and what children watch and consume. You have both used the word “enriched” and talked about how you enrich children’s lives. Do you think that it is a good development for our society to

You were asked why it so often seems to be you in the frame. Right at the start of this session, you were at pains to stress that you have a different algorithm, which is not the classic Facebook, as was, social graph. You can be somebody who is instantly all over the internet in a way that you cannot even on other soc

That is a fake Instagram account and a real Instagram account. Those are old words now. Are you honestly telling me those are not terms that you are familiar with?

14 Apr 2026Culture, Media and Sport Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1338)

Indeed. I am going to ask Rebecca a similar question in a moment, but in the wake of red versus blue, have you done an analysis to see if anybody made money out of it—from the creator fund, for example?

Yes, but including “FYI 90”?

What do you think about that? Come on, tell us what you think. Is this a good thing, that news now comes in a 90-second package? By the way, you said a moment ago that you don’t think you have content on TikTok and Instagram. Are you sure? Because that 90-second news snack sounds a lot like it is made for TikTok and In
